"When a resolute young fellow steps up the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find that it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I was raised Catholic but identified as agnostic up until a couple of years ago. Now I identify as Catholic, though I believe that God isn't limited to the structure of one organized religion. St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine can be thanked for my "conversion" on many levels. I identify with C.S. Lewis when he said that he was "very angry with God for not existing" before his conversion.

I believe that life has meaning, and the only way I can believe in that is if I submit myself to a higher power. Spirituality is an important aspect of happiness and overall wellness, and I of course believe there is a reason for that.
